Subject: PLEASE ASSIST ME
Dear Friend.
I am Steven Dada Mbosowo the eldest son of Chife Nkroma Mbosowo from SierraLeone.
I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance
to transfer a fund deposithuge amount of money now in the custody of a private
Securitytrust firm in Europe. The funds is in trunk boxes deposited and declared
as Precious stones by my late father. As a matter of fact the company does
not know the actual content as money, although my Father made them to understand
that the boxes belongs to his foreign partner.
Source of the money:
My late Father Chief Nkroma Mbosowo is a native of Mende tribe in the
Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the General Manager of Sierra
Leone Mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown . According to my Father this
money was the income accrued from Mining Co-operation's over draft and minor
sales.
Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of Major
Paul Ngaga and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that
almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from power of
the civilian elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My Father
had already transfered the funds through diplomatic means to a security
firm in Europe through the aid of the
U.N evacuation team.
During the war in my country and following the indiscriminate looting of
Public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the Sierra Leone mining
coop. Was one of the target looted and it was destroyed. My Father including
other top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels
in November 2000 because of his relationship with the civilian Government
of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.
As a result of my fathers death and with the information we got that
the rebels are out for us the burden became too much for me to handle coupled
with the ill health of my mother she died in the process as I could not afford
her a decent medical care. The unrest in Ivory Coast and the threat from
the rebels against our lifes,made us to be evacuated to Spain last December
where I and my family are seeking political asylum, we are at present in
an asylum camp in a small village in (Spain). Our only hope now is in you
and the boxes
deposited in the Security Firm. To this effect,I humbly solicit your assistance
in the followings ways.
1. to assist me claim this boxes from the security Firm as our Foreign partner
2. to transfer this money in your name to your country.
3. to make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our
behalf in your country and you, our Adviser/ Manager.
On your acceptance we shall discuss your renumeration for your time and effort
while 5 % of the funds shall be set aside to cover all the expenses that
may incur during the business transaction, Last, I urge you to keep this
transaction strictly confidential as no one knows our where about.
